He added: "We were throwing 50-50 passes and we could have played a bit more in their half but it is a pre-season game and that's what they're there for. Hopefully we can fix it and go into the Plymouth Albion game really firing.

"I'm delighted to have played in both of the games and I'm feeling quite confident so hopefully when it comes to Plymouth we'll all be there.

"We're off to France and that will be a good bonding experience.

"There's a lot of team building - we're all in tents and we've gone old school! Hopefully coming out the other end of it, we'll be ready."
